Yes. If the light is too high, for me the contrast gets worse actually. Plus its annoying to see it glow. So I set my light below where I see it glow so to speak. It pretty much never goes above 10. That way I keep the contrast at the best level while having the backround just bright enough to read for me in inside light situations. It just looks like paper for me. My husband uses my old Paperwhite and he has the light so high I can't even look at it at night. If I wanted to be blinded like that, I'd just use a tablet.
I personally had turned off the auto light on the Voyage. It worked ok for a while then every time I tilted towards a side lamp, it kept changing. I move around much when I read as to not get stiff. 10 is a good one to stay at for me. At night in bed I might go down to 9. So I just leave it at the same level most times.
